Happy Hump Day!


Good Morning!! I haven't been creating the past few days, tired and busy, BUT I did manage a couple of swap cards!! This is a layout from Clean & Simple Stamping. I saw this a week or so ago and just fell in love, so when I needed a butterfly swap card, this came right to mind! It uses my Favorite Martha Stewart Butterfly Punch, half-back mini pearls, and a Clear Dollar Stamps sentiment. Easy Peasy!
I am headed to work, so I am gonna cut this short. I hope to get back tonight with something new...I miss my rubber and ink! Have a wonderful day, and thanks for stopping by!

Good Morning, Saturday!


I have been a BAD BLOGGER! Sorry I have been away most of the week! Here is a little Thank You card...this is what will be keeping me busy this weekend, as I am making 25 for an order. Last weekend, I attended a Quinceanera for the daughter of one of my co-workers...it was BEAUTIFUL! Just like a wedding, but a 15th Birthday!! Maria asked me if I would make 25 special Thank You's for her to send everyone that helped out with the party. This is what I came up with. Her colors were obviously Lime Green and Orange, so that is why I chose these colors. Mariola LOVES Butterflies, so I got out my trusty set from TAC as a starting point. Since it is so dreary here today, I scanned the pic in rather than used the camera...the card is pretty self-explanatory. The sentiment is computer generated.
I hope you all have a wonderful weekend!! Thanks for stopping by, and I will see you again SOON!

HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!!


Here is the card and scrapling I made using the May SheetLoad of Cards Sketch. I went with Christmas, as I am trying to get started with my Holiday cards ahead of time for a change...LOL! All the Patterned Paper and Stamps are Stampin' Up. This angel is one of my faves, so she got first card rights. For the scraplings, I have decided to cut the rest of them in half and make the rest into gift tags. I dunno what I would use them for in this state, and gift tags are always needed.
When the June SLOC is released, I will do Christmas again, and keep ahead of the game...YAY! I hope you like....be sure to check out SheetLoad today!! You will love them~
Thanks for coming by, and Happy Mother's Day to you all!!

Just a little something....



I was off yesterday and today-AGAIN!! I am so sick of being sick!! This time it is an ear infection...good grief! Anyhoooo, I got a couple of cards made!!

This first one is for the Mojo Monday Sketch. I got the cool green PP from Gabby as part of a blog candy I won. It is so neat...shiney and matte combined! I thought the little crowns were perfect for Princess Anya...don't you? You can't see in the picture very well, but I have glittered her crown and sceptor, and mounted her on glitter paper, as well. It has been so overcast here for the past couple of weeks, getting a decent picture is difficult! Oh well, life goes on....
This next card is one that I made with a BooBoo....for some reason, I didn't like the tree when I did it...but I saved it. Lastnight I came across it, and decided to make a get well card out of it. I went with the brown and green color combo, and just layered it up.
Well, I have a couple more in the works....more challenges...I LOVE challenges, can ya tell? Have a great rest of the day, and thanks for stopping by!

Good Morning, Monday!


It is another dreary day here in NW Arkansas, after an entire rainy weekend!! I didn't manage much creating this weekend, I lost my mojo!! I finished off a couple swaps, and then made this little ditty. It is for Sketch Saturday #49. When I first started it, I was gonna make it standard sized, but it just didn't work, so I went ahead and did it 5 x 5 like the sketch calls for! This was super simple~it is all DP~from the MME Magnolia Pack.
I am keeping this short and sweet this moring, as I leave for work in half and hour, so if you have an questions, please feel free to ask.
Have a MARVY Monday, and I will see you all later! Thanks for stopping by...I will try to be a better blogger this week!!
